IRL Name: 
Thomas Swingler
Biography: 

Thomas Swingler was charged in federal court in New York with trafficking in unlawful access devices for his online business http://www.cablehack.net. The site, still in operation, sells "pre-modded" Motorola Surfboard modems for between $38 and $58 that can be customized by the owner without a cable company's knowledge. Among other things, the user can set their own upload and download rates, and change the MAC address — the unique identifier normally hard-coded into a modem. While known as a bot net script kiddie and a general douchebag among various circles, he gained notoriety when he took things to a new level of stupidity by selling preconfigured modified modems to the FBI. It is also important to note that he was kicked out of SBHacker for "breaking a contract, lying, scamming, juping, being an all-around asshole/douchebag, and crossing some legal boundaries by publicly encouraging theft of service and bragging about his botnets".
